Program to offer merit benefits

program on a voluntary
acceptance basis. All new teachers
would be required to enter the
proposed system.

The system sets up four career
stages: Apprentice Teacher.
Professional Teacher, Senior
Teacher and Master Teacher. An
Apprentice Teacher must become
a Professional teacher within five
years or pursue another career.
The Professional.Senior and
Master teachers must all renew
their present license or move up to
the next career level every five
fears.

The State Board of Education
will decide if the teacher will
obtain or renew a license based
upon recommendations from a
new Master Teacher Certification
Commission, individual peer
evaluation and examination of
student achievement scores.

The incentive pay program will
require an additional $210 million
to make the system fully
operational. This extra revenue
will allow the state to increase
teachers' pay according to their
years of instructional experience,
classroom performance and their
students’ achievements. It would

make teaching a more financially
rewarding career and improve the
quality of education the students
would receive.

At the present time, the
program has not been approved
and had been left open-ended to
accomodate any questions that
may arise.

Although Drew agrees with the
idea of the proposal, he feels that
there is still a need to evaluate the
program more thoroughly.

"I’m very supportive of the
concept of this program," he said,
“but Pm also strongly in favor of
getting enough details so we’ll
have a more precise idea of the
system.

“Right now, I think we are
looking at a very strong skeleton
that has tremendous possibilities."

The effect this program would
have on the UTM School of
Education would on “the extent in
which colleges and universities
would function in the procedure,"
according to Drew.

“If the university is massively
involved, we will have to take a
very close look at the criteria that
are being used to decide whether

these people are eligible to be
promoted.

"If we decide that our program
is not equipping our majors with
these skills, then we would have to
make appropriate changes in our
program."

Student Writer

The new proposed Tennessee
Master Teacher Program for
public school systems may have a
“powerful impact" on the UTM
School of Education if it is
approved, according to Dr. George
Drew, dean of the school of
education.

The program is described
Lamar Alexander as an “incentive
pay system that will make teaching
a fully professional career, draw
our best young people in to it. keep
our best teachers in it, challenge
our best teachers to do even better,
and inspire excellence in our
classrooms by rewarding
excellence in our teachers.”

The Master Teacher Program is
partof the Better Schools Program
based upon recommendations
from legislatures new Compre¬
hensive Education Study. The
Better Schools Program would call
for higher expectations from
public school students and
teachers.

The program would protect
current teachers' pay, tenure and
other benefits, and would offer the

Drew also foresees a probable
change in the students entering the
curriculum and changes in
academic standards for the
department’s majors. Drew feels
that a more capable student who
has the potential to attain the
master or senior teacher license
and earn the extra salary, will
enter the program.

Aitnough we’ve had very
capable people in the field, many of
them have been forced out of the
classroom and have accepted
another position to receive a larger
salary," he said.

The program would result in an
increased interest in teaching as a
professional career, according to
Drew.

“I’d hope that we would draw
capable young men and women
into the program and hope that
they would be enticed to have a
career in the classroom."

SGA Congress voted 12-17 to not
rescind their decision to reinstate
Nancy Churchill after Roger
Coates appealed the case on Feb.
17. Although a majority voted to
rescind the decision, the SGA
constitution requires a 2/3 vote to
rescind a Congress decision.

Brad Hurley. SGA president,
was pleased with the large number
of interested students who
attended and discussed the case at
Congress. Attendance was so great
that the meeting had to be moved
to another room in the University-
Center.

The open discussion on the floor
lasted for over an hour with
Congressmembers as well as
guests discussing the issue. John
Harris, Speaker of the House,
insisted that speakers only address
the matter at hand, Nancy
Churchill's reinstatement, when
discussion turned toward matters
other than the case.

resident of Austin Peay, concluded
that no one can weigh the value or

Please don’t blame us
if we just don’t come

The calendar is set and likewise is the situation-set for a repeat
performance of last year, that is. We understand that there are certain
benefits to be reaped from beginning spring quarter on a Friday. And we
realize that the academic calendar is worked out far in advance for each
academic school year. This year there’s no changing the situation—and we
don’t expect it to be changed. However, next year could be different

Students look forward to spring break almost the minute we return from
the Christmas holidays. So you’d better believe we are going to take full
advantage of the fun-every last minute of it! But there seems to be a serious
problem with the scheduling which, like last year, really louses things up.
The last day of exams is Thursday. March 17; classes begin on Friday.
March 25. That’s a mere week-long vacation, but we aren't griping about
that. In fact, we're grateful for even a week off by the time winter quarter
drags slowly to a close. But the thought of returning to campus for one day
of classes-Friday classes-is too much to handle. Why, if it weren’t for that
minor annoyance, we’d almost be ready to get back into the swingof things!

After last year, many students are wary of wasting an otherwise "good"
weekend by returning to campus for one day of classes when they'd just as
soon take a couple of extra days of vacation. “I'm not coming bacltfor
Friday classes,’’ they say. “I did last year and hardly anyone showed but the
teachers, and even some of them weren't here." Others say, “Why should I
cut the break short by returning on Thursday when I could take two more
days and come back on Sunday?" Still others, the chronic skippers, contend
that the first day of classes is a waste to begin with, and even more so when
that first day falls on a Friday.

Because of some absenteeism on the part of the teachers last vear, we
understand that teachers must show up for the Friday classes this year. But
just because you have to be here doesn't mean that we also have to show up.
In fact, most students probably will not. Last year there were those
instructors who made it rough on students who missed that first day.
What’s the point? Students will be students just as teachers must be
teachers. If a student happens to miss the first day of classes, big deal. It’s
not our fault that the calendar is the way it is. Nor is it our fault that
teachers are. unlike the students, required to return for Friday classes.

Perhaps a second year of no-shows will convince administrators that a
change is needed. Until then, however, teachers will have to accept empty
classrooms on the first day of classes, and students who choose not to attend
will have to hope for the same treatment given those who did make it to
classes.

Spring Has Not Yet Sprung

S QR ^Dateline

As the quarterly clock ticks closer to
spring break, you and I should take
advantage of advising and pre¬
registration for Spring Quarter. This
time is more important than some
students realize. When you and your
advisor agree on what courses you
need for the next quarter it is to your
advantage to pre-register and get the
correct classes you need.

We have less than two weeks before
the winter quarter ends. 1 am sure
most of you agree that this winter
quarter was unseasonably mild and at
times it really was hard to tell what
season was upon us. But take pre¬

cautions-spring hasn’t sprung yet.
Even though it would be hard trying to
convince the little buds that are
sprouting in front of the leisure area
around by the library.

Let’s keep in mind that our Pacers
have one more regular season game
remaining. It will be this Saturday on
the road against North Alabama. As
you know, the Gulf South Conference
tournament is approaching and if we
finish in first place in the conference
we will receive home court advantage

Abortion Dilemma Is Solved

Viewpoint

Having tread the roads of
philosophic logic and religious dogma,
one can only go so far until they have
reached finer and finer shades of grey
on the subject of abortion.

Religious and Right to Life
organizations shout "murder,"
“genocide." and offer the simplistic
solution of terminating abortions
altogether. They have dug a hole with
this powerful lobby from squashing
public sex education and spreading
our happy state of ignorance.

Abortionists themselves offer no
solution to the problem. They merely
bicker and banter about. Some people
£: have gotten extremely violent and
££ turned to crime. Arson on government
£' controlled clinics, vandalism, even
kidnapping of clinic doctors by the so-

For the record...

called "Army of God."

The moral decay which the anti-,
abortionist church factions claim as
the sole nemesis of our society is not
totally to blame. Abortion is not an
effective birth control method on a
mass scale, and not all people use
contraceptives. Mass sterilization is
very costly and has cultural as wen a»
religious animosity towards it.

An effective way to stop abortions is
this: each woman is entitled to one free
abortion in her life. Any after, she
would have to pay for out of her own
money, starting at $1000 with an
additional $500 for each one after. This
would probably mean that only the
rich could afford them.

If the woman has more unwanted
children, she can place them up for

adoption and get paid $1000 for her
trouble. The child is then sold by the
government (at a profit) to an
expectant family. But some of these
children will be born irreversibly
retarded or cripple, and thus may not
be adopted. Again, the government
will pay for the child, about half of
what a normal, healthy one would
bring and sell them for usage in
disease testing laboratories and other
vital research so as not to use those
creatures on any endangered species
list and thus placate animal protection
lobbies.

These aborted fetuses, no longer
of any use to science, can be processed
undpr FDA standards into food pastes
and solids fairly cheaply. These can
be used as emergency food or exported

to nations whose population is starving
because the land can no longer support
them.

Populations in these countries can
also be brought under control using
these methods. If a war or some drastic
worldwide disaster does not strike
down these millions, uncontrolled
widespread cannibalism may prevail

when all of the livestock and other
creatues disappear. With these
methods we can hope to achieve a
stabilized controllable world
population, ensure the future of
humanity and, eventually, reach
genetic perfection.

With these goals achieved we can
move forward into the future in control
of our destinies.

j Congress Is For the Students

£;Dear Paula.

Z The Coates Churchill situation has
i. brought a big question to mind! When
£ our SGA Congressmembers vote, how

1 T)ear Baula

2 do they know how their constituents
2 feel?

As an Arts and Sciences major. 1
know I have never been asked how I
feel about an issue that's before
Congress!!

I thought the whole concept of
Congress was for students to be
represented. How do they find out how
I feel about the situation? How can

interested students let their opinions
be known?

Unvoiced

Dear Unvoiced.

John Harris, Atrium Hall
representative and Speaker for
Congress, said that students should go
to their representatives when they
have an opinion to express. “All
students should know' who represents
them so that they can keep up with the
goings-on.” he explained. “We have
representatives for dorms. Greeks,
independents and the various schools
The schools are the hardest areas to

represent since there is often little
communication between the students
and their representatives. The dorms
are the easiest areas-hall meetings are
held weekly, with much opportunity
for feedback.”

Shari Lashlee. Ellington Hall
representative and Speaker pro
tempore, stated that it is up to the
students to keep up with their
Congress members. “These people vote
on their Congresspersons, so they
should know who they are." she
explained. “The representatives do the
best they can to represent the students
as a whole. We all try to go on a general
opinion-no one is really strong-headed

about any situation until all opinions
are heard."

Lashlee added that meetings are
open to anyone interested in attending

them. "People aren't aware that
meetings are open (Thursday nights at
9 p.m.) or perhaps they don’t know who
their representatives are," she said.

Renee Stallcup, liberal arts
respresentative. discusses issues with
students when they approach her with
questions about what's going on in
Congress. “Any student who feels that
an opinion hasn’t been thoroughly
expressed should go to his or her
representative and tel! him/her the
unvoiced viewpoint," she said. “The

student can also go to the Congress
meeting and voice that opinion in

person. Or if the student doesn't feel
comfortable in situations like that, he
shouldn't hesitate to call any Congress
member to have him/her voice the
students' opinions."

So there you have it. Unvoiced. Your
options for expressing yourself are
endless. Above all, know your
representatives-stay in touch with
these people. You put them in office, so
you should make sure they do their job
properly. Provided below is a list of all
representatives, who they represent,
and whefre they can be reached. Your
voice carl bo heard in the future.

Try ‘peppering’ next year

By JON IVINS
Features Editor

In order to be considered for a
possible position as a PEP Leader for
the 1983-1984 academic year,
interested students must pick up
applications either at the Counseling
Center or the Information Desk both in
the U.C. The application must be
carefully filled out and returned on or
before March 10.

The Peer Enabling Program, or
PEP for short, is a type of counseling
team whose function is to help
freshmen during the rough and often
confusing transition period between
high school and college.

Two weeks before regular classes
begin, this highly dynamic and
diversified group comes to Martin for
a week of intensive training in
psychology-the people in the group
get to know themselves and each other
more than ever before.

After getting accustomed to
themselves and to each other, the
group trains to work as a unique team
to help the freshmen during Freshmen
Studies Week, the first week of Fall
Quarter prior to the beginning of
regular classes.

Dr. Don Dufaux. director of PEP for
the past two years, is instrumental in
the functioning of PEP and says that
these past few years working with
PEP has been one of the most
rewarding experiences of his life, as
Jackie Petrucelly, current presidentof
PEP. echoes.

“I love the Peppers because they're
dynamic, involved and genuinely
sincere people," says Dufaux. and
adds. “Each person is totally
individual, but they also have a
common factor-personalities that
blend beautifully."

Dufaux explains, "Freshman
Orientation Week is an attempt to cut
back at the psychological umbilical

cord attached to families so students
can feel more comfortable with each
other and as a support group."

One of the hardest things freshmen
face, as one may recall from his or her
first week of college, is the serious
business and responsibility of studying
and also understanding the faculty. "It
is a matter of getting your mind set,"
said Dufaux, “by easing into the
community and away from home."

For every PEP application PEP
receives, there are three PEP Leaders
evaluating them, so it is crucial that
the application be carefully and
conscientiously filled out.

The next step in being selected, if
called back due to the successful
review oi an application, is a video¬
taped group discussion and then an
evaluation on a one-to-one interview by
a PEP Leader who does not know the
student. In these evaluations and
selections, Dufaux has no say-so. The
PEP Leaders chosen for next year are

chosen by the current PEP Leaders in
exhaustive evaluations of character,
potential and willingness to help
others.

Jackie Petrucelly is the dynamic
president of PEP this year, and
apparently loves the group and the
position. This is the first year the
group has had a female president, and
Jackie has shown herself to be a
worthy leader.

Jackie says, "The leadership aspect
of PEP is a really inspirational
experience. It’s the most rewarding
one I've ever had!” She adds, “PEP has
taught me more about myself and
others than I ever realized before. I
also have gotten to know the
procedures of different things on
campus-a tremendous advantage."

Heartily endorsing PEP, Jackie
exclaims. "If you do anything on the
UTM campus, try to get involved in
PEP"

Smith’s message touches upon humanity

A plan to return the United
States to its former role as a world
leader in science, mathematics and
language was the message of the
annual Muriel D. Tomlinson
Humanities Lecture, delivered by
Dr. Charles E. Smith, UTM
Chancellor, in the Gooch
Auditorium on Feb. 17.

The 7:30 p.m. program was
presented to members of UTM’s
chapter of Phi Kappa Phi National
Honor Society. In the presentation,
titled “Sputnik II: Where Are You
When We Need You?” a five-
action-step plan was given which
urges President Reagan:

To summon a White House
conference of selected educators,
industrialists, and business
leaders and declare that a state of
emergency exists in this nation’s
efforts to provide science,
mathematics, and language
training for its youth.

To commission the development
of a clear and coordinated national
policy for the development of
future engineers and scientists.

To initiate an incentive plan

whereby capable young people
who agree to pursue a professional
career teaching mathematics
and/or the sciences may receive
full college tuition grants, tax
credits, and/or salary supple¬
ments.

To reactivate the National
Science Foundation summer
workshops and other skills
enhancement programs for
current science, math, and
language teachers.

To develop a special grants
program to aid high schools that
are willing to expand and/or
improve their science, math and
language curricula.

Smith said the action steps were
needed to correct the “national
embarrassment” of America's fall
to fourth-place-behind the Soviet
Union, West Germany andJapan-
-in overall scientific literacy and
the sharp decline in the quality and
quantity of science, mathematics
and language education in the
nation’s schools.

The UTM chancellor also noted
that in a recent test American 14-

year-olds ranked fifteenth among
same-age groups from 19 countries
in overall science knowledge.
Other evidence cited included the
following:

Japan is now graduating each
year more electrical and electronic
engineers than is the United
States, despite the latter s overall
two to one population advantage.

The Soviet Union, with college
enrollments less than half those of
the United States, is graduating
six times more engineers each
year.

One-third of America’s
secondary schools fail to offer
sufficient mathematics to qualify
their graduates for admission to
accredited engineering schools.

Only 15 percent of today’s high
school students are studying
modern foreign languages.

“Taken singularly, the
developments just cited might not
merit page one of our nation’s
newspapers nor agenda priority in
our country’s major forums,”
Smith said.

“But, collectively, the impact is

Fun&games: pull a dragon’s tail

untold ... an opportunity
devastating ... a story essentially
unfulfilled ... a challenge unmet.”

The United States has the
capacity to respond to the current
crisis, just as it did a quarter
century ago when Sputnik
threatened America's supremacy,
Smith noted.

Sputnik “struck a raw nerve” in
the American people, he added. Its
visible presence over the skies of
this country served as a "painful
and constant reminder that the
United States of America had
fallen behind in world leadership.”

Smith said Sputnik was an
“unacceptable reality” for the
American people of 1957, and they
demanded the national leadership
to move education to the top of the
national agenda.

“The signal from Washington
was clear and unequivocal: do
whatever is necessary to return the
nation to its position of pre¬
eminence, and never mind the
costs,” Smith told the Phi Kappa

This week I’m going to go off on a
totally different tangent from the
normal stereotype of games. This week
I would like to introduce a few new
games, which are the stunning
creations of intelligent people, like
you, faithful readers, who thought up
some truly original ways to entertain
themselves. The new gamesoriginated
in San Francisco, California, after a
famous New Games Tournament in
1975.

Anyway, I am introducing some
New Games that are not all that
familiar to most game enthusiasts.
These New Games were developed to
be intense, energetic, with much body
contact and almost no injury
(depending on how vigorously one
plays) and are fun. In these games
players will be competing, but not to
win. The accepted agreement is to play
as long and hard as possible. This
“creative play” is the experience of a
player placed in an open environment
and encouraged to use his imagination
to devise new forms of play.

One very exciting New Game that
requires at least a dozen people is
Catch the Dragon's Tail. For this,
players will need a good-sized area,
clear of sudden pits and immovable
oaks. About 8 to 10 people form a line
in single file. Then everyone puts their
arms around the waist of the person in
front of them. (You can’t be ticklish
around dragons.) The last person in the
line tucks a handkerchief in the back of
his belt To work up a good head of
steam, the dragon might expell some
roars.

At a certain signal (you can make up
your own signal), the dragon starts to
chase its own tail. The object is for the
person at the head of the line to snatch
the handkerchief. The hard part of this
epic struggle is that the people at the
front and the people at the end are
clearly competing-but those in the
middle are not sure which way to go.

When the head finally captures the
tail, who is the winner and who is the
loser? Everyone! The head dons the
handkerchief and becomes the new
tail, while the person second from the
front becomes the new fearsome head.

Two dragons trying to catch each
other’s tail is quite formidable-and
also a great game. Imagine a whole
field full of tail-chasing dragons!

One more thing about dragons
before this is over: do you know where
to get dragon milk? Find a short¬
legged cow! PleaSe send whatever fun
and games you feel the community
would like to try. Send them to the
Pacer office U.C. 263. For more
information on more games of this
nature, read The New Game Book by
George Leonard.

Three UTM faculty members have
written a book that explains the
complexities of Tennessee law in
language that everyone can
understand.

According to authors Robert L.
Hearn of Greenfield. Thomas A.
Thomas and George C. Thomas III of
Martin, the 1982-83 edition of the
Tennessee Law Guide should prove
invaluable to anyone concerned with
divorce, bankruptcy, real estate, child
custody, consumer rights or other

legal matters.

The Guide, also written by Sidney A.
Feuerstein of Memphis and David J.
Tarple.v of Nashville, is published by
Towery Press of Memphis and is
available on campus at the Pacer
Pantry.

The 1982-83 edition is the resuit of
an extensive revision which brought
the 1979 edition up to date and made it
easier to understand, according to
Tommy Thomas, an adjunct professor
of business and criminal justice.

"It is an important revision because
it takes into account changes in federa
and law through August 1982
especially the new federal estate tax
law and state bankruptcy law," added
Thomas.

According to Hearn, who practices
law in Greenfield and is an associate
professor of business law at UTM. the
Guide may be unique because it is
limited to the laws of only one state.

"Many books explaining American
law have been published." said Hearn

"but they can’t provide specific
guidance because the laws in all 50
states differ on many points."

According to the authors, the
success of the 1979 edition indicates a
growing public need for a basic
understanding of the law.

“Even though the Guide will not
allow readers to solve legal problems
on their own. it should help people
make decisions that may avoid future
legal difficulties.” explained George
Thomas III.

dropped out of college after getting to
UTM to try to get some idea of the
reasons for their college absence.

The survey showed that some of the
student decrease was due to parent
unemployment and money, but the
lack of activities that interest black
students and the lack of black faculty
members that students can talk to and
use as role models were also major
concerns.

Giles said that four reasons for
blacks to consider UTM for college
include UTM’s high academic
reputation, proximity to home for most
of the black students who are from
Shelby County, having older brothers
or sisters who have attended or are
attending UTM and the positive racial
climate.

recruiting trips to high schools to talk
to black students about coming to
UTM.

“One of the biggest concerns of those
high school students that I talked to
was the lack of special black programs
here Many also didn’t think that UTM
had enough for them to get involved in

other than the Greek system." said
Williams.

"Black students that are here now-
need to get more involved in getting
other blacks to attend UTM by talking
to them when they go home and telling
them what UTM has to offer,"
concluded Giles.

There was a 13 percent decrease in
the number of black students
attending UTM from the fall of 1981 to
the fall of 1982. according to Francine
Giles, director of minority affairs.

Giles said that much of the 110
student decrease was probably due to
financial problems butthat some other
factors were involved.

"There are 27 fewer black students
from this past fall quarter to the
beginning of this winter quarter
alone," state Giles.

Blacks make up 17 percentof UTM's
overall student population. Because of
the overall increase in UTM's student
enrollment and the decrease in black
students, the UTM administration did
a survey of black students that were
accepted and didn’t come at all or who

for the educationally disadvantaged
veterans. Special emphasis is given to
the physically handicapped, minority,
emotionally disturbed, incarcerated
and unemployed veterans.

The VCIP is funded jointly by an

award grant from the Veterans
Administration Office in Washington
D.C. and UTM.

Barry A. Callahan, a business
administration major at UTM and
Keith Reynolds, a computer science
major at UTM, have been named
VCIP counselors.

Callahan, originally from New
Johnsonville. Tenn., transferred to
UTM from the University of Alaska.

Anchorage. Alaska, where he attended
school after leaving the military in
March 1981.

He served nine years in the U.S.

Army and worked for the Regional
Veterans Administration Office in
Anchorage while attending school.

Reynolds, a native of Martin, left the continued from page 1
U.S. Marine Corps after four years of
service. He has worked as a veterans
counselor since the summer of 1981.

Callahan and Reynolds invite
anyone seeking additional information
on the VCIP to contact the office of
Veterans' Affairs. Room 207
Administration Building, UTM
587-7031.

All veterans and dependents of
veterans deceased while on activeduty
may qualify for the VCIP program.

The office of Veterans' Affairs at
UTM has announced that the Veterans
Cost of Instruction Payments program
is now in full swing.

The purpose of VCIP is to make
available a veterans cost of instruction
payment to institutions of
postsecondary education to provide for
the educational needs of veterans.

Institutions receiving these
payments are expected to establish

parties have agreed to allow an
Arbitration Board to make the
final decision.

The Arbitration Board will
consist of two administrators, two
faculty members and two students.

The reason for taking the case
out of SGA is to eliminate the
question of fairness. Hurley hopes
this will be the final decision and
will be accepted by the entire
campus.

Hurley plans to recommend that
next year Congress change their
absentee policy from two misses to
three, with no appeal system.
Although there are always
excepticns. Hurley believes fewer
people will be hurt if there is no
appeals system.

At that time a motion was made
and seconded to rescind the
decision. The vote was taken by
secret ballot with an outcome of 17-
rescind, 12-not to rescind, and 1-
abstaining.

Since the Thursday meeting,
Coates has again contested the
decision. Brad Hurley and Phillip

TV Martin . Tennessee, February

UTM opens the 1983 baseball season
in a doubleheader at Memphis State
University on March 3. beginning at 1
p m. with the advantage over last
year’s 22-12-1 team of having a
pitching staff that could be the team's
strong point.

The Pacers may have suffered from
a lack of pitching last year, but this
year the pitching staff is counted on
heavily by Head Coach Vernon
Prather.

Curtis Gardner. Mike Prather and
Kendall Huggins head a list of seven
new pitchers that have joined the
Pacer staff. All three have junior
college experience and could earn
three of the six starting positions
Prather is looking to fill. If Huggins
doesn’t start, he "could be an
outstanding reliever,” according to
Prather.

Jeff Hill and Herb Temple, two
other junior college transfers, are also
capable of earning starting positions.
Hill is a left hander, a side UTM didn't
have much help from last year.

David Morris and Martin Newby,
both from Weakley County, are the

freshman newcomers to the staff |nd *
are expected to see action out of the
bull pen, especially Martin Newby.

Kevin Tuck and Mark Newby are
the top returning pitchers from last
year. Newby compiled a 4-1 record and
struck out 37 batters, a team high, in
just 29.6 innings pitched. Tuck, who is
a star on the Pacer basketball team,
pitched in five games last year,
winning two of his three decisions.

Terry Hornsby, Steve Smith and
Russ Hopper return to add depth to the
staff

If the pitching falters, the burden
will rest on what Prather calls “a very
solid defense." As on every good team,
the strength of this defense is at
shortstop and second base where co-
captain Johnny Dodd and junior
college transfer Danny Bratcher will
play, respectively.

Jim Willis, a sophomore who led the
team with 37 total bases this fall, and
senior co-captain Tim Haney will man
the corners, third base and first base,
respectively.

Rodney Patterson, "as good a
defensive player as there is on the
team.” according to Prather, and
junior college transfer Chris Hicks,
will see action in the infield. Patterson
plays shortstop and Hicks will be used
as a designated hitter and second
baseman.

Tim Pearcy and Chip Smith are
expected to add depth to the infield
and see action.

Carl Gourgeot, who was the team’s
top hitter this fall with a .370 average,
is likely to be the Pacers first-team
catcher. Gary Pitman, a junior college
transfer, and David Carter, who was a
starting quarterback on the UTM
football team last year, will play back¬
up to Gourgeot. All of the catchers are
new members of the team.

The outfield is the only unit on the
team primarily manned by veteran
UTM players. Sophomores Monte
Thomas and Matt Pumo. both who
started last year, are expected to start
in right field and left field,
respectively. Pumo hit .333 in 23
games last year and Thomas led the
team in stolen bases with 17.

Mike Ramsey, a junior college
transfer, “has a super arm. good speed,
and a better than average bat,"
Prather said. “He had an outstanding
fall” and is expected to start in center
field

Senior Tim Haney of Milan and
Johnny Dodd of Dickson have been
named co-captains of the 1983 UTM
baseball team, according to Head
Coach Vernon Prather.

The fourth outfielder is also
returning from last year. Senior Paul
Fullerton who played in 26 games last
year is expected to relieve Thomas and
Pumo in right and left fields.

The Gulf South Conference, which
includes 1982 NCAA Division II
national runner-up Delta State, is "top
to bottom, one of the top 10 baseball
conferences in the nation." Prather
said, “Division I or otherwise."

An upgraded schedule, “the
toughest ever faced by a UTM baseball
team." according to Prather, will
make it possible for the Pacers to be a
threat when the GSC post-season
tournament comes around.

teams bringing back honors.

Fifty-five teams from sixteen states

Florida Institute of Technology shot
identical scores, just ten points above
UTM’s half course score of 2209. with
Texas A and M comi ng out on top in the
tie breaker. Besides the third place
trophy, UTM came away with
individual honors for its shooters and
even the coach. Out of over 220
participants, Jon Blasco took first place
individual with his score of 568, and
third place in standing competition.
Erik Kugler placed third in the prone
division. Capt. Robert Beard, team
head coach, took second place in the
coaches contest.

The Orange team, which traveled to
Nashville for the Vanderbilt
University Invitational, also came out
on top. taking the first place team
award plus individual honors.
Following UTM in the rankings were
Vanderbilt, UT-Chattanooga and
Austin Peay. Dan Miller placed third
in the individual category.

Reaves up for 2!!

Reaves breaks record

Delta State boasts the nations
second-best shooter and rebounder,
who was averaging 28.5 pts. and 16
rebounds a game. Against the Lady
Pacers she pulled down 13 rebounds
and accumulated 31 pts. Della State is
the only GSC team that the Lady-
Pacers have played this season. The
tournaments are March 3, 4 and 7 at
Delta State.

Monday night the Lady Pacers were
defeated by MTSU. 65-86. Sandra Lise
and Fran Fedak led the team in
scoring with 22 and 18. respectively.

Reaves scored 12 and Paula
Polumbo made five in the game.
Deenie Ware. Gloria Clifton. Tina
Wright and Paula Harris added two
each for the Lady Pacers.

The Lady Pacers were defeated last
night by the Lady Commodores of
Vanderbilt. 79-86. This brings the
Lady Pacers record to 17-9.

Their last regular season game is
against Arkansas State this Monday-
night.

By MARY SCHEIBERT
Sports Information

The lady Pacers conclude their
regular season schedule Monday night
on the road against Arkansas State
University. This will be the second
meeting for these two teams this
season. Earlier in the year, the Lady
Pacers defeated the Tomahawks 81-
57. Angela Reaves was the leading
scorer and rebounder in that game
with 17 and 15 respectively.

Saturday night the Lady Pacers
played the ladies of Delta State for the
first time. UTM led the whole game
and went on to win 88-84. Angela
Reaves, a sophomore from Plant City,
Fla., had 36 points which is a new
UTM record for the most points by an
individual in a Lady Pacers game. The
old record was 35 held by Pat Head
who now coaches for the UT Lady Vols
and is a former Olympian. Reaves hit
18 of 24 from the field and pulled down
13 rebounds.

This weekend, the Pacer Rifle Club
goes to Missouri. On Feb. 26. they will
fire in the Camp Perry Invitational in
Booneville and participate the next
day in the Miner Invitational in Rolla.
With a little luck, they should be big
winners in both.

Lorna Bynum, a freshman from

After 11 years and 250 episodes, the
Korean War is finally going to end.

M"A'S"H " considered by many to
he the best TV series ever made, closes

its run on Feb. 28 with a special two-
and-a-half hour movie on the CBS
network. It leaves in its wake a record
99 nominations for Emmy awards and
a standard of television comedy that
w ill probably stand for years.

Reaction on the UTM campus to the
demise of ' M*A*S , H" has generally-
been consistent, along the lines of the
sentiment of Mac McClurkan. a senior
business major. "On the one hand, I’m
going to miss seeing the new episodes.
But I can see their point, especially
after 11 years. From that standpoint, I
applaud the decision."

That sentiment was echoed by Suzie
Bronk, continuity writer at WLJT-TV.
"I'm going to miss it—it*s part of my
routine. But I’m glad to see the cast
move on to other things."

Those “other things” include a
spinoff television comedy that will
follow the post-war careers of Col.
Potter (Harry Morgan), Father
Mulcahy (William Christopher) and
Corporal Klinger (Jamie Farr). The
man most responsiblefor“M*A , S*H's"
continued success, Alan Alda, will
move into feature films, following the
critical and financial success of The
Four Seasons and The Seduction of
Joe Tynan And the rest of the cast
will attempt to continue their careers
in both television and movies.

Not that “M*A*S*H" will vanish
from TV screens after this month,
however. Already there is a staple of
local syndication (WBBJ-TV even
shows two episodes back-to-back every
weeknight), interest in the reruns that

Cook, a freshman computer science
major, stated. "I'm glad the Korean
War is ending before Hawkeye turns
completely gray.”

"I think M”A*S*H set a good
example.. .of how-three people can get
along in a room.” said Jeff Brady, a
sophomore arts St sciences major, with
a laugh. "But seriously. I think it shows
how personalities don't interfere with
teamwork."

"All I want to know," said Chris
Brady, Jeffs brother, “is why Wayne
Rogers isn't on “Trapper John.’’

Perhaps Anita Edwards, a senior
education major, summed up the
feelings of most of the show's viewers.

"M*A*S*H is an American
institution. Maybe they should erect a
shrine in its honor.”

They already have--the syndicated

Raiders’ brims with Spielberg’s ingenuity

There's no doubt in my mind that
Steven Spielberg is rapidly on his way
to becoming the best director to ever
touch a movie camera. What else can
you say about the director of Duel.
Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third
Kind and E.T. The Extra-
Terrestrial? None of his contem¬
poraries can touch him-not Martin
Scorsese, not Francis Ford Coppola,
not Brian DePalma. not even his friend
George Lucas.

It was with Lucas that Spielberg
made what I consider to be his best and
most consistent film to date: Raiders
of the Lost Ark. With Lucas acting as
executive producer and general
guiding hand. Spielberg created a
lavish, lightning-paced tribute to
Saturday matinees. And though the
film was shot in a mere 75 days, the
result is not hurried and sloppy, but a
film that brims with spontaneity a id
inventiveness. Raiders, even more
than Star Wars, touches the kid in
everyone who loves excitement and
adventure.

The action of the movie occurs in the
year 1936. as archaeologist/-
adventurer Indiana Jones (Harrison
Ford) is commissioned by the U.S.
government to beat the Nazis to the
ultimate buried treasurer-the Ark of
the Covenant, the gold chest said to
contain the actual stone tablets of the
Ten Commandments. Jones links up
with an old girlfriend. Marion
Ravenwood (Karen Allen), who
possesses the crucial clue to the Ark's
location, and the two are off on a globe¬
trotting chase that goes from the

Himilayas to Egypt to the
Mediterranean.

As the wry and battered Jones.
Harrison Ford gives full vent to a
talent and charisma only hinted at by
his roles as Han Solo in the Star Wars
films. Seemingly at home either in a
college classroom or the jungles of
Peru, Ford dominates the film in the
way that Bogart used to by being tough

But the film finally belongs to
Steven Spielberg. Working within the
guidelines of Lawrence Kasdan’s
ingenious script. Spielberg never
passes up the chance to add a light
touch or an exciting moment. And as
with any true cliff-hander, the film is
chock full of situations that put Jones
in positions from which there are no
possible escapes. A devilishly booby-

As always, Spielberg's direction is
technically perfect, but there’s a
delightful sense of spontaneity about
the proceedings, as if (as Ford even
says at one point) they were making it
up as they went. The film is infused
with an almost giddy atmosphere, as if
Spielberg just couldn’t wait to tell this
story.

Don't get me wrong-Raiders isn't,
and was never intended to be, anything
more than escapist entertainment. But
it's such good escapist entertainment
that every other film of that type pales
in comparison. In fashioning their
tribute to the cliffhanger, Lucas and
Spielberg have transcended the genre:
they have given us back much more
than they took, And that's the mark of
true artists.

but likable. Lines that might have
seemed irritating and smart-alecky if
delivered by another actor sound
properly natural and dry when
growled out by him.

The rest of the cast is also
outstanding. Karen Allen is the
perfect heroine, black-haired and
beautiful but as tough as Jones or any
man (when we first see her. she is
drinking Himilayan mountain guides
under the table). Paul Freeman is
properly smooth as Jones' arch-rival,
Belloq. and John Rhys-Davies is
immensely likable as Indy's Egyptian
sidekick. Sallah.

trapped Peruvian temple, a truck
chase that has Jones actually hanging
under the speeding vehicle, and a
fistfight under an airplane's spinning
props are only some of the dynamite
action set-pieces of the movie.

Perhaps the film's most original set-
piece--and one that certainly qualifies
for the “Most Unforgettable Moment
in Film” listing-occurs when Jones is
confronted with an immense Arab
swordsman in the streets of Cairo. If
you haven't seen it. I won’t spoil it for
you, except to say that Jones reacts
with real-life logic and not a
swashbuckler's bravery.

Then again. I’m not sure that you
should call Raiders of the Lost Ark a
work of art. But if art means
communicating to your audience
exactly what you want them to feel,
then Raiders ranks up there with
Michelangelo.

First off. Journey fans will notice the
scarab beetle trademark is absent, but
the infinity symbol is still there. The
major feature is a bust of an astronaut

Love." It’s another in the never-ending
love ballads that Journey has
developed an affinity for in the past
couple of years. As a matter of fact,
there are five songs on the LP that just
fail as slow songs. They are: "Send Her
My Love,” "After the Fall.”
"Faithfully.” "Troubled Child" and the
title cut "Frontiers." Where songs like
“Open Arms" and “Still They Ride"
had an air of magnificence and
triumph, the slow ones on “Frontiers"

gives the song an extra "stand out"
capability. Two other tunes. "Edge of
the Blade" and "Rubicon" are
straightforward rockers that are
typical Journey. “Back Talk" sounds
more like Judas Priest or Van Halen
than Journey. It is true blue heavy
metal withan unusuallyjagged rhythm
pattern that is closely associated with
new wave. The combination is very
effective.
